Sunner Museum: A Landform Architecture Dancing with the Wuyi Mountains

As a leader in China’s white-feathered broiler chicken industry, Sunner Group has established the largest broiler chicken breeding and processing industrial chain in the country. In response to this, the group plans to build an industry museum, which will not only showcase its outstanding achievements in agricultural science and technology and other fields over the past four decades but also serve as a high-end platform for industry exchanges, making it a dynamic knowledge hub that drives the development of modern agriculture. The museum is located within the factory area of Sunner Group. Situated in the extended area of the Wuyi Mountains, the area is rich in forests and has a pleasant ecological environment. The group has established an ecological circular breeding system with zero pollution emissions here. Surrounding the base, the clear waters of the Futun River flow around it, and the highway, living area, and reserved land are arranged in an orderly manner. The unique landscape of mountains and waters has injected inspiration into the architectural design.

Adopting the concept of “recreating the mountain landscape”, the architects aim to seamlessly integrate the building with the landscape.

The facade design draws inspiration from the folded steel plates of retaining walls, using concrete folded plates to create a unique texture.

The main exhibition hall is supported by four giant silo-shaped shear walls, integrating facilities such as exhibition halls inside.

After its completion, the Sunner Museum has become a new starting point for industrial tourism in the Wuyi Mountains area. During the day, it showcases the achievements of modern agriculture, and at night, the roof platform is open to the public for free, integrating into the lives of the citizens and vividly interpreting the concept of “symbiosis between architecture and the environment”.
